I am planning to buy me an exercise bike.
Now I want to know if you have any experience of such a maskin?
I must give my body some movement.
Or I may die soon. At least sooner 😀

A lot of exercise equipment ends up as expensive clothes racks. I had a Roman chair a while back. That quickly turned into a drying rack for my hockey equipment.
OTOH you should have no trouble finding an exercise bike on the used market.
Another option could be a bike roller. That'll allow you to use your road bike as a stationary bike.

I have my eyes on a model of exercise bike.
It should cost me €870
Its weight is 39 kg
It should fit in my room. I have only one room.

I had an exercise bike once but I have never really liked it for more than ten minutes at the time.
I sold it an bought a roadbike and now ride 2 to 4 hours straight without getting bored at all. I do have a rollerbank for my roadbike now but to be honoust, it is just as boring as an excercise bike.

Get a real bike and ride it outdoors.

If you bought a real bike and just walked to to the nearest downhill. Coasted down then walked back up the hill, you would get more exercise than on an exercise bike.And it would be fun. Fun never happens on an exercise bike.
Here in SE US, rain is quite frequent and I get off work too late for a good outdoor ride so have to have an indoor option. I have an older spin bike with an older 43 in TV mounted on a rolling stand in front of it. I watch some documentary on Netflix or Prime Video while I spin for the duration. For me it is a reliable daily 45 minutes or so of movement and I hope to learn something interesting along the way. My other thing is a rowing machine and THAT is challenging to stay focused. Cannot freewheel or slack off.
Of course, that is just me. YMMV.

I found an exercise bike on a ditch, so went back for the car to take it home. BORING! jeezzz, just the warm up drove me to distraction. Now you can plug them into your TV and cycle against others, perhaps that I could do, but not as fun as my ride home tonight on my old crank commuter bike, tailing a confused roady.
Then I would need to be worry. If it gets stolen 😀Get a real bike and ride it outdoors.

Never heard any exercise has been stolen.
I ocationally pass by mine in the garage. I might ask my wife if Im allowed to bring it in the house. I would suggest you look at Facebook markedplace where you get them nearly for free now hollyday season has way past. Cheers!
I bought a trainer some 25 years ago, and maybe used it three times. I’ll just brave the !@#&*% weather with a real bike. Four hours at a time, pretty much every day, over mostly the same course, never gets boring. It can be a grind into a 25mph head wind, but not boring.
My excercise bike is not stationary. Unfortunately after dropping some seriosu coin for an eBike i learned i have to relearn how to ride a bike to even use it. Or get a 3-wheeled recumbent eBike.

Just walk. As far as you can, each day.
Spend the money on good shoes for walking instead.
Remember an exercise bike is just cardio, walking is more.

As much as I love biking stationary biking is my least liked indoor exercise. I'd rather use an elliptical with variable ramp and resistance; but I'd really rather be on the road or the trails.
I do aerobic exercise 3 times a week. I'm age 72, 68", 175 lb winter 163 summer, BP 138/72, cloresterol 160, rest pulse 75 in March, 65 summer. I bike 70 miles a week in good weather, outdoors. Indoors I mostly do Army daily dozen & lift hand weights (3-5 lb), but if I ever get my house organized after the burglary, I'll be able to ride the exercise bike again. I watch music videos on TV when I ride the bike. If not TV, I listen to the stereo, which is beautiful.
The exerbike I own is like one of these https://www.tunturi.com/en/cardio/sprinter-bikes/ only I can sit upright, the saddle is 10.3" wide x 11" long, and it weighs 80 lb so it won't walk around. Unfortunately people are supposed to flex their necks back 90 degrees to ride a bike these days. My Mother ruptured a disc due to bad posture at work and was in pain every second for the rest of her life, 16 years. I'm not doing that. I look just like her (except for being male).
